Sixteen of the patients were also tested for valgus-varus mobility. An increase in varus mobility following medical meniscectomy was primarily attributed to compression of the medical compartment space. No increase in anteroposterior mobility was found in the knees that had undergone meniscectomy compared with… CONTINUE READING
